Ocean Networks Canada in collaboration with University of Rhode Island has been developing new tsunami wave models for the area of Barkley Sound and the City of Port Alberni. New fault rupture models have been developed by Natural Resources Canada and University of Victoria personnel. Digital elevation models that reflect the morphology of these two areas have been developed in collaboration with NOAA-NCEI, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, GeoBC and the Alberni-Clayoquot...

On 14 November 2013, Easton White, a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the University of Victoria working with the Baum Lab, led a workshop on implementing ecological population models. As examples of mathematical models in biology, Easton talked about some of his research, which has covered a wide range of biological systems, including work on pikas (Ochotona princeps), in California, and lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) in the Bahamas.

Easton provided background on the theory and applications of mathematical...
